S'abadeb-Seattle Art Museum Names of individual basket makers are rarely known, although Judge James Wickersham--who collected this basket in 1899 just a few years after it was made--noted the name of the weaver, Siagut. Today, more scholars are turning their attention toward uncovering the work of particular artists.

15. Twined Spruce Root Basket Tlingit Starting in the 1880s, Tlingit basket makers sold their wares in Sitka, Juneau, Ketchikan, and Wrangell to tourists who came to Alaska on steam ships. Often they would paddle out to the ships in canoes to sell to the tourists eager for souvenirs. Huge cruise ships still ply these waters today, although weavers have to compete with imported and mass-produced kitsch.
